Three interrelated rules which make a dataset tidy:
- Each variable must have its own column.
- Each observation must have its own row.
- Each value must have its own cell.
1. pivot
- One variable might be spread across multiple columns. -->
pivot_longer() - One observation might be scattered across multiple rows. -->
pivot_wider()
1.1 pivot_longer
pivot_longer(data, cols, names_to = "name", values_to = "value", values.drop.na = FALSE)
data 需要转换的数据
cols 进行转换的列, the columns to pivot are specified with dplyr::select() style notation.
names_to 列名转换为
values_to 值放置于
values_drop_na 去掉缺失值

2 separate and unite
2.1 separate
separate(data, col, into, sep=, convert, remove)
col 需要拆分的列
into = 拆分为
sep = 拆分位置（特定符号或制定位置）
convert 是否转换数据类型（默认FALASE）
remove 删除原有列（默认TRUE）
